The Park
11-acre Independent Community Park
​
With the assistance of Elmendorf AFB and Fort Richardson civil engineers, as well as contractors paving the Mt. View Drive, the park was prepared. It has been reconfigured over the years with new playground additions and replacements. The park, open from 6 am to 11 pm daily, currently includes:
